Managed Vulnerability Assessments
A penetration test will provide you with a snapshot of the vulnerabilities you are exposed to at the time the test was undertaken. If a new vulnerability is released or your equipment is misconfigured after the test, you will be exposed until your next test is performed. If your tests are only scheduled annually, this window of exposure could be extensive.
Continuous vulnerability assessments are performed weekly or monthly and will greatly reduce this exposure.
The scans are most external though internal scans can also be provided in the same way.
Vulnerability Management
Our consultants are engaged to undertake the following on an adhoc basis, or regularly as part of a managed service.
Our consultants will work with the client to identify and prioritise their vulnerabilities and help to triage patching if required. To do this, we review the technical details of the vulnerability to see if the necessary criteria for exploitation is present.
If the vulnerability does meet the criteria for exploitation, we look at various methods to mitigate the problem, not just patching.
